Today is my first big baking day [I run a baking business on Etsy and my own website and at craft shows] since starting paleo 8 days ago.
I'm finding it EASY to NOT eat any samples of what's done or have a taste of leftover batter, BUT I hear myself saying I 'deserve' some kind of carb treat [like french fries - my secret downfall] if I finish the day well.
Ugh, how do I change THAT logic???

Mind over matter -- at least, that's what I tell myself. You can either put it in your mouth or not. You could always have some almond butter or dark chocolate chips instead. Breaking the habit is the hardest. :-)
Good luck!0 -
If you feel you deserve a reward, the only person who can change that thought is you. But if you run with it - make it a 'better' carb. Potatoes aren't good -but they're better than grains or sugar. Sweet potato fries aren't good - but they're better than potato fries. And so on.0

Somehow you've got to get just as excited about eating right as you do about eating wrong. I make "potato" chips by baking sweet potatoes, zucchini, kale, etc and I have learned to LOVE it! It's a treat for me, but still very primal. Find treats that you love that are okay with the diet. I have a couple of bites of dark chocolate each day to stave off the sugar cravings.0
